so as my last post said, i bought a j10 to tow with. i am converting it to a j20. i have the axles, springs, wheels, tcase, driveshafts and brakebooster all from an 81 j20. i also plan on running bags.
here is my question:
the GVW on my j10 is only 5975# , the GAW is 3200# front and #3200 rear. i will be towing a 16-18 ft trailer with my yota on tons and 40s. i know when i put the j20 stuff in plus the bags it should be fine for a decent low budget tow rig. however, will it be legal to tow that with the factory vehicle ratings? because i know the SHP will not care what i have done to improve the vehicle, just what the door tag says!
